Funny I'd not thought about the phrase in the way you point out. But you sure made me think. Can you imagine the range of emotion fleeting across the face of the student of English as s/he worked it out ?!?
Now, to get to your question : sometimes I call it "Blitzing the room" - a fast cleaning - the kind made between the time you get a call company is on the way and the time the comapny arrives!
